Zelda Ocarina of time is good, But to gain the title of the best game ever you need to be perfect (or almost) in every way.

For an Adventure with RPG elements, Zelda had HORRIBLE Story and dialog. Seriously. The gameplay was tedious in dungeons *Pick Key X to Open Room X where you would find another key to open another room* The Sounds were absulotely horribe for its time, even on the N64.

Metal Gear Solid 4 at this point in time can easily be haled as the top of mount everest in gaming. It is hard to beat it in so much quality and much enjoyment from anyone who plays it. The online, while not perfect like any games online, is so much fun when you wrap your head around it. It's almost a shame MGO itself isn't available to everyone to play on whatever console, because it's true to the series for an online component.

If we want to go picking old school games that rock socks and many agree well MGS3 easily comes to mind as does any of the Zelda games.
